So you are suggesting that the southern baptists couples that choose contraception are also choosing to abort their children, that they are liberal, and that the southern baptists are better off if they don’t have children?

Nonsense. We have here - Southern baptist conservatives who love freedom and hate Obama, right here, saying that God won’t mind if they contracept. That’s a problem - for their family and for the Southern Baptists.

My point is this - contraception originated with the Episcopalians at the Lambeth conference in ‘34, where they affirmed that contraception was a-ok. It has since spread to most denominations, including the Southern Baptists.

I can quote southern baptist leaders from the 19th century who see contraception as a grave sin.

This isn’t about what Catholics believe or do, this is about what should the Southern Baptists believe? Should they be taking their inspiration from the episcopalians?

I did not intend to suggest that, and I apologize for failing to make myself clear. I was suggesting that those who commit abortion are eliminating their own children and eventually their own warped values. I did not intend to comment on birth control at all.
